Trivia

In this series, the "White Room" - the small room attached to the Apollo landing gantry, which the crewmembers pass through on their way into the capsule - is the real thing. It was discovered in a forgotten NASA storage room, taken out and used in filming. See more »

Goofs

During the Apollo 11 landing in "Mare Tranquilitatis", flight director Gene Kranz repeatedly includes "booster" in his controller polls. Booster controllers were present only during powered flight on the Saturn booster. Their job was done at the end of translunar injection and they were long gone by landing. See more »

Quotes

[after Kennedy is assassinated]
President Lyndon Johnson: A great leader is dead. A great nation must move on. And as we bow our heads in submission to divine providence, let us thank God for the years that He gave us inspiration, through His servant, John F. Kennedy.

Incredible mini series
25 February 2004 | by (Massachusetts) – See all my reviews

This miniseries is fantastic. As a self titled space geek, I enjoyed every minute. Not only does it tell the story of how we got to the Moon, it tells about the individual astronauts and many who helped get them there. After Alan Shepard had his 15 minutes as the first American in space, JFK made it clear that we needed to get to the Moon by 1970. The mini series details every step of the way, touching on the Apollo 1 disaster, all the steps to getting to the Moon (staying in orbit, space walks, docking, etc), the development of the Lunar Modules, and the inevitable voyage of Apollo 11 that landed on the Moon. I especially enjoyed Dave Foley as Al Bean, an astronaut on Apollo 12 (the funny episode). From the Earth to the Moon also details the NASA/press relationship, astronaut training, the astronaut wives, etc. It's such details and perspective that make this stand out as an amazing miniseries. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the Apollo program. Truly an amazing story of arguably the greatest technological achievement of man to date.
